Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Giving a Positive meaning to the WHY

By -
Image
To learn, unlearn and relearn is a great path to personal growth. The room was packed with "hungry folks" as the music played and men reminiscent through their yonder days. Step by step, the mind travelled back to where it all began. The events that shaped us unveiled. We reached out to the files, dusted them and gave a positive meaning to every snap shot captured. You see, nobody is really bad, people just do bad things. Ted Bundy was known to all who knew him as a charming man. He was a volunteer at a suicide hotline and a college graduate. However, he was executed for the murder of 40 women in the '80s. Poland's famous serial killer Karl Denke was an active member of his community and even was an organist in church. Hmmm!!! People do what they do because of what they have been exposed to. People do the best they can with what they know. When you see people behave the way they do, be rest assured that the innocent mind has captured some snap shots and has giv...

Dream Big, Aim High, Never give doubt a Chance

By -
Image
Behind every great idea, there will always be somebody who will be discouraging you by telling you that it won't work. They will tell you it won't be successful. They can even go to the extent of giving examples of people who have tried and failed. People will make attempt to make sure they discourage you from embarking on the journey to success but I want to tell you that nothing will be achieved by you if you are waiting for the time everybody will agree to support your dream. It is better to be alone achieving your dream than to be in midst of mediocre celebrating failures. Dream big, aim high, and never give doubt a chance. Ideas will always rule the world.

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

You do not need to invite the Holy Spirit

By -
Image
I and a friend discussed about this today, and he disagreed wholly, until I showed him the Word. I once used to pray like this whenever we were to go into an 'anointing service.' “We invite the Holy Spirit into this place.” “The Holy Spirit really showed up this morning!” If you have been a Christian for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard these expressions. In fact, you have probably said at least one of them yourself. I know I have! Many believers today often open up church services or worship meetings with prayers like “come, Holy Spirit!” Yet I suspect these prayers may not need to be prayed. Indeed, they may actually cause more harm than good. Allow me to explain. As a Christian, I believe that any person who puts their faith (active trust) in Jesus is given the Holy Spirit. He is described in the Bible as a “seal” we have been given (2 Corinthians 1:22), and as a promised gift from God (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:45). Throughout the New Testament, ever after God...

Please, Do it Fearlessly

By -
Image
The year is running out. One of the things that Entrepreneur and business people face is FEAR. Everyone experienced that in one way or the other but the ability to overcome the fear is the best thing to do. Every new year, people have new year resolutions, but along the line they experience Fear, but sometimes we permit it. The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because of fear of failure or you think your effort will be insignificant. Just do that thing you already planned to do, it is better to try and fail than to not try at all. Every single idea, decision and action that can make the world a better place counts. I have seen some people with brilliant ideas but they are not ready to excute it. "The sun that's still shining outside is enough to dry your cloth" (Trying to interpret a Yoruba proverb). All what I planned to do this year, I have been able to do it but I still have like 50% to go. What are the things you planned to do but fear says no way? Please...

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so

By -

No condition in life is good or bad – it's all in your thinking! There was an old man who had gone to his farm for many years riding on his tamed and trained horse. One day, his horse ran away. On hearing the news, his neighbours came to commiserate with him. “What bad luck”, they said. “May be and may be not”, the farmer replied. The next morning, the horse returned, however, with three other horses (but untamed and thus wild). “How wonderful!”, the neighbours exclaimed. “May be and may be not”, replied the old farmer once again. The following day, his only son tried to ride one of the untamed horses. He was thrown off, and broke his leg. The neighbours again came and exclaimed, "how unfortunate!". “May be and may be not”, answered the old farmer again. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army for the world war II. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. “How lucky you are that they spared your son!”,...

Thoughts and Words – Attitudes and Actions

By -

So this morning (on the day this was written), a friend and I got into a conversation and we were talking about work and how she wants her day to go. She started with "Oh! I wish my day would just go smooth, with little and stressless patients in the hospital, I don't want to make a mistake oh!" And with all the sorry wishes... Immediately! She got a hold on herself and said "No! My day will be stressless, I'll make no silly mistakes, my day will go smoothly..." You know, for a moment I tried to analyze and simulate the event and then I remembered something I read: ATTITUDE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACTS. How you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. We build up the feeling of security or insecurity by how we think, and by extension how we live. We just can't go by the day with sorry wishes. We need to first, expect the best from our day, confess the best, and most importantly work out the best. The result of our day i...

Envy kills the one who harbours it, not the one who is its object

"And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul..." (1 Samuel 18: 6-10) It was Saul they came to meet and welcome back from battle. It was David they honoured. What man would not feel jealous? I mean, Saul was the king. In fact, he was the one that announced David, so to speak. He was the one who gave David a platform to shine, humanly spe...
